Trader sentiment on Strait of Hormuz transits hinges on persistent Middle East geopolitical tensions, including Iran's April 13 seizure of the MSC Aries tanker amid Israel-Iran exchanges, yet routine commercial oil tanker and US Navy vessel passages continue daily per AIS tracking data, underscoring the chokepoint's resilience for 21 million barrels per day of global petroleum flows—roughly 20% of seaborne trade. Elevated risk premiums have kept Brent crude hovering near $87 per barrel with heightened volatility (VIX energy proxies up 15% weekly), while VLCC charter rates firm 5-10% on insurance surcharges. No closure signals from Tehran despite parliamentary rhetoric; key watch is end-April escalation risks or US Fifth Fleet maneuvers that could affirm open passage amid $100/bbl oil threat thresholds.

The number of daily transit calls/arrivals includes container, dry bulk, roll-on/roll-off, general cargo, and tanker ships. Ships not reported by IMF Portwatch will not be considered.
This market will resolve as soon as IMF Portwatch publishes a daily number of transit calls equal to or above the specified level, or once data has been published for the final date in the specified period and no such value has been published. If no data has been published for the final date of the specified period within 14 calendar days (ET) after the end of that period, this market will resolve based on data published up to that point.
Revisions to previously published data points, made within this market’s timeframe, will be considered. However, they will not disqualify a previously published data point from qualifying. Revisions to previously published data points after data is published for April 30, 2026, however, will not be considered.
The resolution source for this market will be IMF Portwatch, specifically the transit calls data published for the Strait of Hormuz at https://portwatch.imf.org/pages/cb5856222a5b4105adc6ee7e880a1730, both in the chart and through downloadable files.
